Choosing a Van That Fits Your Move
A small move does not need a large vehicle. If you are leaving a studio, student room, or simply moving a handful of larger items, a small van is usually the most practical and affordable choice. It is perfect for quick journeys around North London where street access can be tight.
If you are coming from a one or two-bedroom flat, a medium van offers extra room for furniture and appliances while still being easy to park in busy areas.
A two or three-bedroom house move, or the relocation of a small business, is often better suited to a large van. This option has the capacity for multiple furniture sets, large boxes, and bulkier equipment, allowing you to complete your move in one trip.
For the biggest moves, such as a large family home or items that are especially heavy or oversized, an extra-large van offers the most load space and convenient access for easier loading and unloading.

Why Van Size Matters
Choosing a van that is too small can lead to extra trips, costing you more in time and fuel. Selecting one that is too large can leave you paying for space you do not use. The right fit makes your move more efficient and far less stressful.
How to Estimate the Space You Need
Start by creating a full list of the items you will be taking. Measure the largest pieces of furniture and consider how much space your packing materials will occupy. It is often better to have a little extra capacity than to find yourself short on space at the last moment.
If you are not sure which option will work best, our North London team can assess your needs and recommend the most suitable van for your move.
Helpful Tips for Moving Day
Organisation will make your move much easier. Mark each box clearly with its contents and destination room. Use blankets, towels, or other soft materials to protect fragile items. Keep an essentials box within reach so you have immediate access to things you will need straight away when you arrive.
